Multi-probes and Multi-sensors

Multiprobes contain one or more simple probes configured to extract specific
information from manageable devices by executing multiple queries with a single
authentication.

About this task

You can schedule multiprobes to run any time in the discovery process to make
exploration more efficient. One common use for multiprobes is as identity probes. Identity probes ask a device for information such as
its name and serial number, and then use the results of those queries to update
existing CIs in the CMDB.

To process the data returned from a multiprobe, you must create multisensors, which
run scripts that process the data returned by the multiprobes. Multisensors
typically use the same name as their corresponding multiprobes.
